Ree in Winter's Bone, Mattie in True Grit, Loretta on Justified...
I haven't seen Winter's Bone yet, and Ree isn't quite pursuing justice, but I thought I'd throw her character in here for the comparison because of Loretta. Strong girls -- not quite as absurd as Hanna or Kick-Ass. Strong, can-do Southern women -- are they necessarily examples of feminists? It depends on their attitude towards men and marriage roles. Mattie may be a prototypical feminist? "Like a fish needs a bicycle..."
